What's Brewing at Carnival's Alchemy Bar?

Alchemy is a medieval chemical science whose ambition, amongst other equally benevolent intentions, was the discovery of a universal cure for diseases, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life. So knowing this, who wouldn’t be lured into discovering what potions await at the Alchemy Bar aboard the Carnival Liberty?

The Alchemy Bar resembles an antique pharmacy shop, complete with wooden cabinets, marble counters and bottles of enticing colorful fluids sitting on top, with the staff dressed in lab coats and taking orders on prescription pads. The menu, displayed inside leather bound notebooks that light up when you open them, hold the promise that a concoction mixed here, could be a panacea for nearly everything!

A variety of remedies are available, including “Relief for What Ails”, “Passion Potions”, “The Medicine Cabinet”, “Cocktail Therapy”, “Energizing Elixirs”, and “Fountain of Youth”. They may be on to something here. After all, who wouldn’t be prone to acting young and foolish after kicking back a few “Youthful and Bold Berritinis” (buck the currents of time with Finlandia cranberry vodka and St. Germain elderflower liqueur, strawberries, fresh lime juice and a splash of soda complete this martini to enliven the throes of youth)?
